If you’re not in the know, the Persona series, a Shin Megami Tensei spinoff, puts you in the shoes of an ordinary Japanese High School student who finds themself in extraordinary circumstances. Now the game is making its way to all platforms including PC with the enhanced re-release of Persona 5 Royal. This is the idea behind Persona 5, an immensely popular JRPG that took the world by storm in 2016. Haven’t you ever wanted a little payback? To burn the machine that sees you as less human to the ground and spit on the ashes, or maybe just remove a few rotten apples from the pile so they can face actual consequences for their actions. Politicians who line their own pockets with government funds, police acting in self preservation instead of assisting the people they’re supposed to protect, teachers bullying their students, or even just your boss who expects you to work overtime for no pay. These bad actors in turn corrupt the systems they are a part of, and it’s been going on since the dawn of civilization.
They say absolute power corrupts absolutely, but in reality it seems power simply attracts corrupt people.
